Demetri Martin is the latest heartthrob to hit the comedy scene. Soon to join
the ranks of Jon Stewart and Jimmy Fallon, the Yale grad was at NYU law school
when he realized he was more attracted to stand-up than heavy textbooks. He
subsequently dropped out and got into the comedy circuit.

His self-obsessive one-man show, "If I ... ," which he wrote,
performs, scored and even sewed the costume for, garnered awards at festivals in
Aspen and Edinburgh, Scotland.

Since then he's been working on a movie script based on the show, has
appeared on and/or written for TV shows such as "Late Night with Conan
O'Brien" and "The Daily Show," and has been in talks with the
U.K.'s Channel 4 for a possible television series. Currently, he's performing a
new one-man show, "Spiral Bound," at New York's epicenter of comedy,
the Upright Citizens Brigade.
